Block Eleven

Six inch block

Cut one - 2 1/2 inch square

Cut four - 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch rectangle 

Remember to sew using a quarter seam allowance.

Place the centre square on top of one of the rectangles.
Ladies, please watch video on how to sew this first seam.

Press seam allowance toward rectangle.

Place the next rectangle on top of the square and first rectangle.  This time sew in place across the whole seam. Press away from centre.

 Continue with the last two rectangles to sew

When sewing the last rectangle in place, remember to move the first rectangle out of the way.  I folded mine away from the edge and pin it.

Ladies, do not forget to watch this second video before sewing the last seam.

  

Twelve inch block

If you would like to stitch a twelve inch block, you have two options.
Make four six inch blocks and stitch them together to form a twelve inch block.
Or stitch a single large block.
Cut one -  4 1/2 inch square
Cut four - 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch rectangle
Stitch together as above.


Take care and keep safe.  I am looking forward to catching up with all your news soon. x
